ya just wrap the yellow and red together and hold it on the positive terminal and the black on the negative, i wouldn't take my chances with the other way

yes. also, you can use a 12 volt battery (i.e. any AA, C, D, etc sized battery)

Aren't AA, C and D sized batteries usually 1.2-1.5v nominal? I think you'd need 10-12 in series.

Well, alternatively, you could go to radio shack and get a 12v power supply for 20$ //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif I think they sell a 10amp or 13amp or so for 30$. Or you could go with an old computer power supply -- they have 12v rails as well as 5v and 3.3v rails readily accesible, usually in excess of 10amps even on crappy ones.

I have a 70amp 13.8v supply (from industrial equipment) at my house for running chargers and other equipment. Cost me all of 55$ shipped about a year ago. It's a good investment if you use alot of DC 12v devices -- i bought a deck last week and was able to test it using it, etc.

But you can always just use a car battery //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
